    Fault showing in dash " Faulty steering lock ". I have seen this before but it disappeared again. Just wondering if it is an actual steering wheel fault .

    2005 new model Passat 1.9td1

    Thanks

    That is a fault with the electronic steering lock. It is quite common on that shape Passat. You should be able to get it fixed for €350 or less. It used to cost a lot more than that.

    Thanks.. Faulty steering lock message not showing today. Can this message show for other reasons other than the actual electronic steering lock needing to be replaced. I think this message was showing once before about a year ago .

    Any time I have seen that warning it has meant a faulty steering lock. It can be very intermittent for a long time before it fails outright.

    Steering Lock. €250 Fitted in main dealer in Navan.
    Reason to go to main dealer is the unit is coded to the car so needs to connect to VW Diagnostics
